Tramin Lagrein
Wine Description
Bright ruby red in color with garnet hues, this is an extremely typical Lagrein, offering intense and complex aromas of cocoa, cinnamon, wild berries and violets. Harmonious on the palate, with fine tannis, it is full-bodied, velvety, round and long, with a spicy finish and a well-integrated acidity. Goes well with game, red meat and spicy cheese.
